Masahuat

Masahuat is a city and municipality in the Santa Ana department of El Salvador.

Masahuat is a small town in the State of Santa Ana. El Salvador's main river, Lempa runs near it. Lempa's current is very strong during the monsoon (winter season to the locals they only have two sets of season summer and winter but its more like a spring) season but weak during the summer; until a few years ago the town was inaccessible by vehicle during the rainy winter months, and residents had to cross the river over hanging foot-bridges. After a road bridge was built, the town became accessible by vehicle year round. One bridge also provides access to Cerro Los Flores and other small towns nearby. The foot bridge that went from Masahuat to Colonia Zacamil its neighboring town is now destroyed due to the lack of use it wasn't cared for.
